Answer 1

From The Cross To A Cloud
To hang on a cross between Heaven and hell,
With such anguish and pain
Mere words could not tell.
My God, My God, why have you forsaken?
For I've become as their sin
By this action that's taken.
I now give My Own Life
For the sons and the daughters,
And am led to God's Judgement as
A Lamb To The Slaughter.
Whipped and beaten a spear thrust in My Side,
And because of My Stripes will My Healing abide.
Sharp nails were driven in My Feet and My Hands,
My Blood now poured out
For the sins of all lands.
It is Finished I said as I hung on that tree,
I've now died in your place
So that you can be free.
Into Thy Hands I commend My Spirit,
And said it in joy so My Father could hear it.
Darkness came to the earth in
This time that was spent,
And the Mighty Veil of The Temple was rent.
From The Cross I was taken
To a tomb that was borrowed.
And for those who did love Me,
Their hearts were so sorrowed.
Now three days had gone by
And the stone rolled away,
And now comes the dawning
Of a great new day.
For I Have Arisen, Just As I Did Say.
And give you My Peace which will not pass away.
I Was Taken Up In A Cloud To My Glory.
Now I Fill By My Spirit,
As you tell My Great Story.
Of A Merciful God Who Left His Own Throne,
To come down to this earth
To gather His Own.

Answer 2

When you get what you want in your struggle for self; and the world makes you king for a day; just go to a mirror and look at yourself, and see what THAT guy's gotta say. For it isn't your father, or mother whose judgement upon you must pass... But the person whose verdict counts most in your life, is the one staring back from the glass.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life, and gets pats on your back as you pass. But, your final reward will be heartaches and tears - if you've cheated "THE MAN IN THE GLASS..." (that's my favorite..)

Answer 3

I actually have two (and I wrote both, is that okay?)

Faith

The light was brightly shining,
Like the smile on my face.
I got up and walked towards the window,
I walked with elegance and grace.

Two months ago, I couldn’t move my legs,
I tried so hard to walk.
They said I would be in a wheelchair for life,
That was all the talk.

I was hit from another car,
That was going way too fast.
He didn’t even care he had hit me,
Because I saw him drive on past.

I was in surgery for hours,
The doctors were ready to give in.
But I fought so hard for my life,
I wouldn’t let them win.

Now I’m walking down the street,
With a smile from ear to ear.
I never give up so easily,
Without faith I wouldn’t be here.

Understanding

Expanding ourselves,
In a world in which we can grow.
Refining ourselves,
In a world where we can be as perfect as we want to be.
Displaying ourselves,
To a world that looks upon us.
Imitating ourselves,
So the world doesn’t see who we really are.
Preparing ourselves,
For a world that might not respond to us.
Accepting ourselves,
In a world that wants us to change.
Understanding ourselves,
In a world that has no affect on us.

Answer 4

This sounds kind of cheesy...but my mom always had this hanging in her house on a plaque and I always liked it:

"Yesterday is already a Dream
And tomorrow is only a Vision
But, Everyday well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope"

Can't remember the author.

Answer 5

My poem is Dear Booty;
I wrote this just to let you know, I'm sorry but you've got to go, you've been behind me through the years, but still you've brought so many tears, I've wanted you to leave before, you'd go but then return with more, But I have now been shown the way, to minimize you day by day, I'll count my calories- blessings too, and rid myself at last of you, so please forgive me if I sound snooty, but aloha, see ya, bye bye booty!

Answer 6

The prayer of St. Francis

Answer 7

God grant me the serenity to accept what I can't change, the courage to change what I can and the wisdom to know the difference

Answer 8

If by Ruyard Kipling...despite his personal philosophies
